• Also, tyres are not the place to save coin.

    100%, 3 of the 4 summer tyres are basically new, they are however the cheapest of the cheap that were obviously thrown on to sell the car, so I’m putting a new set of Goodyear Efficientgrip performance 2s on. They’re about £60 a corner, fitted, but £110 for 225/55 r16 W(!). So seemed more than worth exploring other tyre sizes that would fit the rim.

  • So why not just wear them out and worry about it later, or are they that bad at road holding?

  • I’d probably only find out how shit they were during evasive manoeuvres or emergency braking, neither of which seem like the ideal time to test their limits.

    £200 for peace of mind and slightly improved mileage/handling seems like a fair cop.
